Best Historic Restaurants in Westport

What a beautiful Italian restaurant! There are many Italian restaurants in the area but this is top on my list . The ambience, food, service were exceptional. The owner greeted us as we walked in and was very pleasant. We will go back soon…

It was a lovely place for Christmas dinner. There were some larger groups, but it was mostly tables of two, three or four people, so it wasn’t at all noisy. The Inn was decorated beautifully and the staff was friendly and efficient. There was a special menu, which included vegetarian options. It was the perfect place for us and we appreciate that they were open on Christmas day.

Baldanza at the Schoolhouse is the best! It's head and shoulders above any other restaurant in lower Fairfield County. The food is perfectly cooked and presented every time. The attention to detail is meticulous. My water glass was refilled quickly. The staff is courteous, friendly, and efficient. Last night I had the veal parmesan with homemade pasta, it was outstanding. I always share the fritto misto with fried calamari and shrimp with friends. I had the homemade carrot cake for dessert. It was moist and dense with the right amount of cream cheese frosting and dollops of homemade whipped cream om the side. My only wish is that the dining room were quieter, it's difficult to have a conversation right across the table. My vote is 4.9 stars. I love the Schoolhouse!

Very welcoming , excellent service . Fun , delicious , strong drinks. The menu has a nice variety , if it's your cup of tea the bone marrow appetizer was excellent, as well as the blue crab nachos. We all had beef , and each cut was cooked to perfection with the sauce to the side . A really nice dinner celebrating a birthday , desserts were solid too , banana foster is memorable.

Overall we enjoyed and appreciated the music , the creativity of the artwork and seating arrangements . It is definitely a place to consider going for a date night. The servers and owners were extremely welcoming and eager to assist, even with the bottle of wine to consider. The food is average for bar food .
